Active network users already know for certain that an Internet service for ordering a taxi "TIZ.TAXI" (Fast Taxi) is launched in test mode in the capital of our country. ORIENT decided to check the work of the service and at the same time talked to one of the drivers who told about the first impressions of working with the new system. "At first it was difficult," the taxi driver with many years of experience admit. - Many of the advantages that this system gives were incomprehensible to me. Now that I have experience working with new equipment, I can say that this is a convenient technology, which, I hope, will soon be implemented." Having installed the application "TIZ.TAXI" on the phone, which is available on iOS and Android , we registered in the system by specifying a mobile phone. Registration takes no more than a minute.Eziz OVEZOV
After registration, a detailed map of the city opens, showing all the currently operating taxi services that are connected to the new system. You can see how they ply through the city, in what direction they are moving and how far away they are from us.
To call the car, you need to indicate on the map the place where you are and the destination, after which the smart search system of the nearest free driver is activated. By the way, in the application you can also make a reservation for a certain time and date. This can be useful in case you need to go, for example, to the airport at five in the morning in five days. The application will remember this and provide the car when you are already leaving the house with suitcases at the ready.
"The passengers see my car on the map, and I can see their location on the tablet. When the client starts searching for a car, I get a notification, and by pressing one button I can take the call and go to the place indicated on the map. "
... We called a taxi to the hotel "Yildiz", which is located far enough from the city center. Taxi came to the spot much faster than we expected. "Catch" a ride or wait for the bus would have been much longer, especially at a later time and not in such a busy place.
The final point of our trip, we pointed out the Olympic town, and on the road discussed with the driver how the system works now, and how it will work in the future.
"Of course, it is still not perfect. It is required to debug the whole mechanism so that it is convenient for drivers and passengers, taking into account habits and mentality. All these issues are being carefully considered right now by a team of specialists who monitor the system almost around the clock. While the program is running in the test mode, there was no advertisement about what appeared, and there is not a big load. But, the more people now find out about "TIZ.TAXI", the more it will be used, because this is a very convenient thing."
Arriving at the destination, the driver brought to the table the amount of the trip - 20 TMT. At the same time the taxi call itself cost 10 manats, and for the road the payment was made according to the distance traveled over the counter. And most importantly - the system can not be deceived. The driver, no matter how hard he tried, can not change the price.
Today, passengers have a real opportunity to influence the development of the "TIZ.TAXI" system. To do this, you just need to leave feedback about the trip and evaluate it on a five-point scale right in the appendix. Upon arrival at your destination, you will be notified with a suggestion to do so.
Not satisfied with the price? Difficulty when working with the application? Complaints to the driver or any wishes? All this can be reported to specialists working on the test version of the system, and it is possible that your feedback will help make the work of the Internet service convenient and quality for all.
